Full description
About the Client
We're helping a growing AI and process automation consultancy based in Munich, Germany find a Senior AI Automation Engineer to design and deliver sophisticated automation and AI-powered business solutions.
The company works with small and medium-sized businesses across Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, helping them streamline operations, improve efficiency, and scale through intelligent automation. Its solutions span CRM systems, AI agents, automated workflows, business intelligence, and custom software integrations.
The Role
We're looking for a Senior AI Automation Engineer who combines a strong software development background with advanced hands-on experience in automation engineering and AI integrations.
You'll design and build complex automation systems, integrate AI technologies, develop custom code, and create tailored software solutions when existing platforms aren't sufficient.
Working closely with the founder and delivery team, you'll take ownership of projects from requirements gathering and technical design through development, deployment, and optimization.
This isn't a role for someone who only builds simple automations. We're looking for a software engineer who understands system architecture, can solve complex technical challenges, and knows when to use low-code platforms versus custom development.
Role Details
Commitment: Full-Time (40 hours/week)
Working Hours: CET
Location: Fully Remote
Engagement: Independent Contractor
Monthly Rate: $1,800-$2,400 (can be higher, depending on level of experience)
What You'll Do
AI Automation & Workflow Development
- Design, build, and maintain complex automation workflows using n8n, Make.com, and Zapier.
- Develop end-to-end integrations connecting business applications, APIs, databases, CRMs, and AI models.
- Build and optimize HubSpot CRM automations, including contacts, deals, pipelines, properties, and workflows.
- Develop AI-powered solutions and agents for sales, research, customer support, and other business processes.
- Troubleshoot and optimize workflows for reliability, scalability, and maintainability.
Software Development & AI Systems
- Develop custom integrations, scripts, and applications using JavaScript/TypeScript and/or Python.
